On Friday morning President Donald J. Trump went off on NATO on TRUTH Social.
In typical Trump style, he did not hold back.
Trump labeled NATO the “paper tiger” and “cowards.”
He is particularly upset that NATO countries would not help clear the Strait of Hormuz.
President Trump: “Without the U.S.A., NATO IS A PAPER TIGER! They didn’t want to join the fight to stop a Nuclear Powered Iran. Now that fight is Militarily WON, with very little danger for them, they complain about the high oil prices they are forced to pay, but don’t want to help open the Strait of Hormuz, a simple military maneuver that is the single reason for the high oil prices. So easy for them to do, with so little risk. COWARDS, and we will REMEMBER!
President DONALD J. TRUMP”
Trump targets NATO in Friday morning post on TRUTH social.
Earlier this week, President Trump expressed displeasure with other countries for turning down his request to send their militaries to the Strait of Hormuz to protect oil tankers as Israel and the US wage war against Iran, saying that the US will remember the refusal.
As The Gateway Pundit’s Jordan Conradson reported, Trump on Saturday claimed, “Many Countries, especially those who are affected by Iran’s attempted closure of the Hormuz Strait, will be sending War Ships, in conjunction with the United States of America, to keep the Strait open and safe.”
He specifically called out “China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and others, that are affected by this artificial constraint,” saying securing the Strait “should have always been a team effort, and now it will be.”
However, the countries quickly rebuffed his demand and instead called for and urged the United States to end the war.
Trump responded to their declination of his proposition on Tuesday during a bilateral meeting with Taoiseach of Ireland Micheál Martin, saying, “We don’t need help.”
Trump further said he was “surprised” that NATO allies, while supportive of the war, “don’t want to help.”
“This was a great test because we don’t need them, but they should have been there,” he said, noting that “we as the United States have to remember that, because we think it’s pretty shocking.”
